MoonJune MJR 069
"It is with great pride and privilege that MoonJune Records is once again afforded the unique opportunity of elevating one of the world's great young guitar prodigies to the world stage: introducing the Indonesian progressive jazz guitar phenom, Tesla Manaf.
Tesla is a truly unique voice on his instrument -- with a style ripe with imagination and gusto, and uninhibited by tradition or any predispositions. For this album, his international debut, an array of songs are presented which showcase Tesla's unique talents as both a player and composer.
His warm, lush guitar tones are reminiscent of the great Pat Metheny (one of Tesla's earliest, most profound influences), while his style defies such categorizations. The depth of grace and poise, ingenuity, dynamics and harmonic sensibilities truly belies his young age; he is just too young to be making music this innovative and brilliant!
This self-titled debut marks the dawning of a vital new musical force on the progressive jazz and world music horizons."
